The National Commission on Small Arms and Light Weapons (NACSA) recognizes that effectively addressing the challenges of small arms proliferation requires more than institutional action alone. It demands the collective effort of communities, civil society, and the global community of partners committed to peace and security.

To strengthen these vital connections, NACSA has established the Civil Society Organizations (CSO) and International Partners Desk — a dedicated unit responsible for coordinating and managing NACSA’s relationships with civil society groups and international partners across Ghana and beyond.

What We Do

The Desk serves as NACSA’s primary liaison for all CSO and international partner engagements. Our work includes mapping and registering civil society organizations working on small arms control and community safety, formalizing partnerships through Memoranda of Understanding and collaboration agreements, coordinating joint programs, outreach activities, advocacy initiatives, and managing relationships with UN agencies, bilateral donors, regional bodies, and international NGOs.

Who We Work With

We partner with a broad range of actors including community-based organizations, faith-based groups, research institutions, women and youth organizations, UN agencies such as UNDP and UNODC, bilateral development partners, and regional bodies including the ECOWAS Small Arms Unit.

Register Your Organization

If your organization is actively working in the areas of small arms control, arms management, community safety, peacebuilding, conflict prevention, violence reduction, or related thematic areas, we invite you to partner with the National Commission on Small Arms and Light Weapons (NACSA).
